Does your child have a vivid imagination and a love of books? Then, you won’t want to miss reading Ladybug Girl and Bumblebee Boy: “At the playground, Lulu asks her friend Sam if he wants to play with her. Sam likes Diggers, while Lulu thinks Monkeys is the best…………As Ladybug Girl and Bumblebee Boy, Lulu and Sam save the playground from hairy monsters and big mean robots, and have their very own parade on the bouncy dinosaurs…..They figure out when they work together, they can create fun games that they both like to play.”
After rereading this book to my toddler a few nights ago, I just had to pull it and share with each of you! She listened intently as the lyrical language jumped from the page as she watched Lulu and Sam save the playground—–one of her favorite places—-and work together——-something we’re still working on! It was sheer delight to read to her as vocabulary words resonated off each page: bouncy, infinity, boulder, puzzled, definitely, frustrated, etc. My literal princess also stared down in deep thought as she tried to figure out what was happening! We stopped to discuss that the tire swing really wasn’t a mean robot and that Lulu and Sam were just pretending! For a black and white child, like my own, understanding to be flexible and bendable with silliness is important.
Oh! What beautiful memories are built through the pages of a book! We’ll defiantly read David Soman’s and Jacky Davis’s other Ladybug Girl books. Take a look at all the free printable pages, interactive play, and more on www.ladybuggirl.com.
